Introduction Throughout the course of a 24 hour period, an individual will make numerous personal choices that will either positively or negatively affect their life. The decisions to not touch the hot stove, to eat instead of starve, or to enjoy the company of a loved one are all judgements that can be settled in one’s own brain. As a decision to not touch the stove in order to prevent harm to oneself is made, why is it that alcohol, which may also be determined as destructive to the human…

B-cells differentiate into plasma cells which are mainly found within the bone marrow. Bone marrow is found in many types of bones including long bones such as the femur and humerus, and flat bones such as the bones of the cranium and the scapula (American Cancer Society, 2014). When plasma cells continue to grow, it can create the disease called an isolated plasmacytoma which means there is only one tumor, but when…

How do scientists explain and support the argument for biological evolution? From the recent trip to the Minnesota Zoo, labs performed in class and multiple readings these things have shown students the dynamics of evolution. Scientists, like Charles Darwin, who have focused studies on certain organisms like the Galapagos Island finches have played a large role in our knowledge today about biological evolution, natural selection and descent with modification. Over many generations and an…

Cannibalism is a topic that evokes both disgust and wonder; while the mere idea of eating human flesh is one that makes a person’s stomach twist and turn, it is also one that brings forth the question of how far humans are willing to go in order to survive - or how twisted they can sometimes become with their desires. The question that is always raised when speaking out about the topic of cannibalism is whether or not it is acceptable in our culture, despite the backlash behind it. Before one…

Gaucher disease is a genetic disorder in which glucocerebroside (a sphingolipid, also known as glucosylceramide) accumulates in cells and certain organs. Sphingolipids constitute a diverse array of lipids in which fatty acids are linked through amide bonds to a long-chain base, structurally they form the building blocks of eukaryotic membranes. Gaucher disease occurs when a enzyme is deficient. When the enzyme is defective, glucocerebroside accumulates, particularly in white blood cells and…

When I was 6 I broke my femur, which is one of the most hardest bones in your body, when I was goat karting. I had just gotten a new goat kart a few months ago. It was yellow with blue stripes on it, and the seat was uncomfortable.The seat was made of fiberglass, so it would not move while you were on the kart, and it had blue fabric over it. I loved that goat kart. I had always shared with my brother, and I hated it. I always wanted to go on the track while he was in the goat kart. Now it was…

Worther becomes receptive to treatment, Dr. Sachem should proceed with beneficence to replenish fluids using the Parkland or other formula, provide pulmonary care for smoke inhalation, and attend to the wounded femur (Greenhalgh, 2017). If the patient persists in his decision to be euthanized, then the doctor should honour this as well. The practice may be ethically justifiable based on several arguments. For one, the doctor would respect patient autonomy. Competent…

The major and the basic national interests of US are to discourage and reduce the threat of chemical and nuclear weapons assault on US forces in different foreign…

hips. Once the patient had passed these tests, the patient will then undergo a gait/movement analysis. Patients who usually return to play from this type of injury will wear a SERF strap. SERF stands for stability through external rotation of the femur. This strap is made of thin elastic and is applied around the thigh, knee, and lower leg to pull the hip into external rotation. This strap is often used because it improves hip control and leg movement during any dynamic activities. Acetabular…

Long bones are also as the Femur, Humerus, and the Tibia. The smallest bones in our body called Metacarpals, Metatarsals, and Phalanges. Short bones are providing a function of providing support and stability with little movement, the wrist and foot bones are examples of short bones…
